Training Courses 2009

Advances in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease

Workshop organisers:
Leena Peltonen: University of Helsinki, Finland & Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge, UK
Ole Petter Ottersen: University of Oslo, Norway
Patrik Brundin: Lund University, Sweden

Technology innovation drives biomedical sciences rapidly. With the right resources (continuous updating on the techniques, availability and applicability), genomics and imaging can be applied to dissect major processes related to human health and disease. Our joint initiative will allow researchers not only to get an overview of what the new technologies can offer but will also provide them with a forum that promotes interdisciplinary research. This event includes two concurrent 2-day training courses and a 3-day symposium.
